Psalm 22:1-10

Psalm 22:1-10English Standard Version (ESV)

Why Have You Forsaken Me?

To the choirmaster: according to The Doe of the Dawn. A Psalm of David.

22 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?2 O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,and by night, but I find no rest.

3 Yet you are holy,enthroned on the praises[a] of Israel.4 In you our fathers trusted;they trusted, and you delivered them.5 To you they cried and were rescued;in you they trusted and were not put to shame.

6 But I am a worm and not a man,scorned by mankind and despised by the people.7 All who see me mock me;they make mouths at me; they wag their heads;8 “He trusts in the Lord; let him deliver him;let him rescue him, for he delights in him!”

9 Yet you are he who took me from the womb;you made me trust you at my mother's breasts.10 On you was I cast from my birth,and from my mother's womb you have been my God.
